Yep, 002 has these stinky fuckers all sprawled out on the floor. The desk tries to burn candles, but the odor is over-powering. Why is the CPD the catch-all for every lowlife in this city? Which brings me to a security problem. Why does the lobby of 002 have a drop-off container for unused prescriptions? It's fairly easy for some asshole to come in and drop, let's say, a FUCKING pipe bomb or some expolosive device into it and walk away without ever being noticed. This department and city has its' collective head up its' ass, and it all starts with the little fucking criminal at City Hall.

Why are the homeless in the police hallways. It appears to be a fire hazard. How about putting them in lock up like Andy would in his two cell jail. How inhumane to have them in the lobby for all to see. The homeless want their privacy too.

you know why they are there. they know the children that roam the streets of the harrison district are some of the most repulsive people of earth. they know that people of there own race would rob them of the dvd player they own in a heartbeat. only place in town they could watch it without fear of being robbed. it's a shame but they use to be those kids when they were younger too. aint life grand.

You can't even conduct Police business with the congealed stank of ass, bare feet in 3 year old leather gym shoes and sundry manner of arm pit & crotch rot in addition vermin, critters and heebie-jeebies.

Is there anyone that gives a fuck about the health and well being of The Police?

This shit has to stop! Another intentional stymie to effective Policing. We have no real control over our facilities.

Police stations SHOULD be hostile and unfriendly places with no room to lounge!

Visit any good sized suburban facility and you'll see how it's supposed to be done.

Only is the people's socialist republic of chicago is this nonsense encouraged and condoned.

We can hope that one of henny penny's fans rolls over and floats a rank and foul "air biscuit" just as she or one of her rever'rear-end friends walks in the door to bitch about an imagined slight.

And you can bet each and every one of them has a check coming in somewhere and a link card in their pocket. They just waste all their money on dope or booze, and they’ve wrecked every place that they have ever lived at so no relative wants when around and certainly no one in their right mind would rent to them. They are homeless by choice because to actually have a home would force them to accept responsibilities.

In my experience about 1 in maybe 100 actually has some raving mental illness and instead of real intensive mental health care the state sets them up in a funky, filthy nursing home (the stench of such places knocks you over from half a block away) that they usually immediately escape from and return to wondering the streets helpless. I’ve fed and watched over a few of those in my time but the rest are just out for a mooch to buy that next crack rock and they get the back of hand.

There are so many programs out there to feed and shelter the homeless that none of them need be cold and hungry. They refuse their help because they require them to be sober and behave like human beings and that is what they reject.

I’m an old retired guy and scenes like that is not a part of the job I miss.

Homeless people are directed to go to any Chicago Police Station and state that you are homeless and the Department of Human Services will be contacted and will send someone toi take the. Homeless person (s) to a shelter.

As for the poortanle DVD Player, they probably sell bootleg DVDs and use that to prove the DVD they sell will play.

The problem is that no one is buying bootleg merchandise anymore, everyone realizes it keeps the crime rate high buying stolen goods.

In the big scheme of things, who gives a damn? DVD players are going pretty cheap at most appliance stores. I saw a guy one day (obviously homeless) who was sitting in a front lawn garden display of a store with his cell phone plugged in the an outlet where I would presume that store would plug in their holiday lights for Christmas displays. I guess one can be homeless and not be totally cut off from the world at the same time.

Im in and out of 11 a couple times a day and those homeless f***s are sprawled out on the lobby a dozen deep at times. At least a one or two of them are usually hacking up a lung...no doubt with TB (and God only knows what else) spewing all over the lobby. Why do the bosses allow these mopes to lay around for hours and hours? Minimum it's a health issue with these people. Worse its an officer safety issue when one of them off their meds attacks and disarms a P.O. Is it true one went over the counter a few months ago, attacking an officer and throwing computers off desks? Then he went crazy in anther room until he had to be tazed? And what's up with the uber-liberal 3rd watch desk sgt? Ive seen her feed these fuckers!!! Nothing like giving them no motivation to ever leave!! OFFICERS WORKING INSIDE/DESK IN 011...CONTACT FOP TO FILE A GRIEVANCE IF THE BOSSES REFUSE TO THROW THESE FUCKERS OUT BECAUSE ITS "TOO COLD" (THERES A SHELTER A FEW BLOCKS EAST ON HARRISON FOR THESE PEOPLE, SO THERES NO EXCUSE TO LET THEM CAMP OUT IN THE LOBBY).

OFFICER HEALTH & SAFETY ARE WHATS IMPORTANT, NOT SOME DREG OF SOCIETY HAVING A PLACE TO HANG OUT UNTIL THEY FEEL LIKE LEAVING ON THEIR OWN.

And I just dont know exactly what to even say...these fuckers get to use the outlets for their tvs/dvd players??????? Take note all you new people...THIS IS WHAT A LIBERAL SOCIETY HAS ALLOWED...A POLICE STATION THAT DOUBLES AS A HOMELESS MOVIE THEATER. YOU WONT SEE THIS BULLSHIT IN THE SUBURBS.

I have set up my: bootleg DVD /cell/concessions/radio/car/PDT/rifle/Taser-- sales and repair shop here in the Basement of 011..and if Im not around, knock on the review office door.**and as always, Advice is free**

I heard one of the two year wonders locked them up for SUB, ... "knowing they were in a known drug area yelling rocks and blows in the proximity of narcotics (the cheetoh bag stored in the drug safe)".

This has been going on for many years for no one has the balls to say no for fear of someone homeless person freezing to death. part of the problem is the way the new stations have been designed ( also the 5th district). Walk into any suburban police station, and for that matter many large city stations. None of them are as wide open as here in Chicago. The FOP should demand a retro fit of the stations on safety reasons. The city could easily build a wall on each side of the main entrance and put plexi glass on the top of the desk. This would shrink the main lobby considerably. That way no one can lie down on the floor and the desk officers would be safe. It is just a poor design and a waste of space. Then, you have the problem of Human Resources not coming to pick these people up until the morning. Most of them never get into the van, but just walk away.Just a problem that no one wants to face.

have your ID out , walk through metal detector , get groped by tsa to get on a plane , but the homeless sleep in police stations all night I pray a terrorist doesn't plant a bomb one day , no security at all

"Why are the homeless in the police hallways. It appears to be a fire hazard. How about putting them in lock up like Andy would in his two cell jail. How inhumane to have them in the lobby for all to see. The homeless want their privacy too."

How about you post your address so they can come and sleep at your house? Maybe eat some of your food. Maybe you can offer up your spouse for desert? Bleeding heart, liberal asshole!

Damm, I thought that was what 10 southKedzie is for; to provide a warming place for the "indigents tospend the night. We should gethazardous duty pay for having toinhale the noxious fumes thesepeople emit.

I filled in as the w/c and told the desk sgt to have those people call human services, if they won't call or go with human services when they arrive then kick them out. The desk sgt said they have always allowed them in there. So I told her not this weekend! She didn't like it and huffed and puffed the rest of the night, so when they brought me the work sheets for the next day I put her on the street. Her response was, I can't work the street I'm the desk sgt. Of course I told her not tomorrow! The next day I got a call from the lt who was rdo telling me to leave the desk sgt alone! I told her when u get promoted you can tell me what to do. Oops she is now a commander, but it still didn't help those homeless or that desk sgt that went from 1101 to 1120 that night.

How soon can we forget PO Rick Fransis murdered by one of those animals after they threw her out of 019 for creating a station distubance but didn't lock the bitch up or take her to the dept of mental wealth. Five mor street disturbances and a 99 midnight unit was dead. The bitch sucked up 3e rounds of 9mm an.d is still alive..... no trial yet..

I'll let u no squad?

Burn the I bonds, build jails and secure mental healt facilities ,deport the enemy. (Illegal aliens in America=illegal Americans in Mexico will create some interesting changes.)

This is nothing new...I retired 14 years ago and they were layin' up in the districts in A/5 even then. Especially 025. It was much easier to go from court to the lobby than go to another district.The only difference then was that they had no DVD players so they harrassed the police and citizens instead and threatened to sue if they were booted out.

Anonymous said...I heard one of the two year wonders locked them up for SUB, ... "knowing they were in a known drug area yelling rocks and blows in the proximity of narcotics (the cheetoh bag stored in the drug................................... THAT'S FUNNY SHIT!! All the "I work in 011 bravado" and no one has the balls to kick the bums out of your own hallway. JOKE!!

POD Rooms open to the general public (Lt. Andrews may be correct on citizens having to be trained first, but from what my friends in 11 say, that room is accessible to EVERYONE), filthy, disease-ridden bums hanging out and sleeping in the lobby...THESE ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE RECIPE TO DISASTER.

Its not a matter of "if"...its a matter of "when" something tragic will happen to an officer or officers in that lobby/desk area.

I agree with an earlier poster...document daily for exposure to the mutts that are hacking and spewing God-knows-what all over the po's and citizens all day.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH SHIT AND FILTHY CONDITIONS ALL DAY LONG ON THE STREET EVERY DAY...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THESE MOTHERFUCKERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BASICALLY LIVE IN OUR HOMES/STATIONS. ILL CALL FLOP IN THE MORNING AND SEE WHAT THOSE USELESS PRICKS HAVE TO SAY REGARDING ANY RECOURSE YOU FOLKS MAY HAVE OVER THERE.

Two buds that work in 11 have told me how a certain female desk sargent has allowed this to continue and laughs about it when officers object to it it as a health and safety risk. It seems she sides with the homeless idiots before her own people...makes me want to puke!!!!

WHY NOT THIS Ain't working.

You are exactly right. We need to impress upon our politicians that they will be doing our will now, not catering to play reverends, diseased illegals, and dead weight ghetto dwellers, sucking up our tax dollars and living it up on the taxpayers back.

If they don't listen, they will be thrown out of office, maybe with a new coat of tar and feathers.

We have tried the warm and fuzzy way and it is a dismal failure. They ain't gonna like the end result if they try to fuck us some more.

you are correct in your statements that they are a fire hazard, they put themselves in that situation, it is possibly unsafe to have them there, and clearly other people have failed and thats why they have found shelter there and not through the proper authorities.

but in these days post thanksgiving, an arbitrary holiday at best, let us remember that these people reguardless if the fact is they put themselves in that situation need somewhere to go. sure some people say let them die out on thr streets and they are bad people, probably true. but helping others good or bad is the right thing to do. only true character shines in the darkest hour, and true character is doing the right thing even when there's plenty reason not to. perhaps the aforementioned is a naive statement but be it as it may, this is the reality we face.

Wondering said...Let me just ask this, and I am sure I will get blasted for it, but, did anyone tell them to get out of the lobby?=Police stations are considered temporary shelters. There's paper on it somewhere. (Couldn't believe it the first time it came out, which was many years ago.) It's not a CPD thing, it's a dictate from City Hall. When they do those cold weather alerts in the winter, they actually publicize the fact that you can go to any police station if you can't get to 10 S. Kedzie. In other words, we CAN'T just put them out.Now, if we only had a couple of district commanders with guts... but that's not going to happen. They're all tiptoe-ing around, hoping they can wait out Weis' exit. Nobody's going to rock the boat and risk being dumped from their spot.

how many of these "bums" are really investigative reporters posing as "bums" investigating the police at the police stations?"BUMS" WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES?COP WATCH?TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THIS BULL S--T!!!

(OT) handled an accident on 55th street by Midway airport,and observed all the com ed generator trucks blocking up 55th street by the airport and in the parking lots. So being curious I talked to com ed guy on the scene he told me the airport has no power all being run on generators any investigative reporters want to look into this city screw up?

The stations are designated as temporary shelters for the homeless, per city directives (not a law, sort of like a presidential directive, where the mayor says what he wants on paper and we have to obey it). However, temporary is also defined in this directive as until Human Services gets there. Once they arrive, and the bums wont go with them, then they are trespassing, and you CAN throw them out. Once you do that, they won't come back. I will dig it up when I go back to work and have it posted here by a friend.

010 doesnt let the bums camp out. They know this so they all head to 011. 010 smells good all day and night. A big thanks to Janitor Jessy and the rest of the cleaning crew!!! 011 smells like stank a$$.... Start moving them out and they won't return. They will find the shelters on their own...

There is no reason for the bums to be lying in the foyer of 011 or any other station. Time for the janitors there to used lots of ammonia in the mop water or find some other way to make it unpleasant there.

I still remember inspectors (Manley) writing up coppers for carrying a round in the chamber of a semi-auto,,,even if the semi-auto was double action with a decocking-thumb safety.

I've heard the stealing electricity thing before, but I always thought the City extorted ComEd for free electricity in exchange for the rights to sell electicity in the city.

Those inspectors would shit now if they saw the TVs, laptops, space heaters, etc. behind desks, in offices and in lockups now.

Of course, the no hats, sweaters, open jackets, no beat tags, unshined shoes, unpressed shirts and pants, beards on men without bump cards, long hair, dreads, et al that used to be Inspectors wet dreams are now commonplace.

How would you like to be a former inspector and know your whole inspector career was a total waste?

Bringing up Manley. I first met him around 1970 and he was a sergeant in the old Marquette district. On payday, a group of Black officers wer shooting dice in the 2nd floor locker room. Manley was going to write them up. They disarmed him, almost pants him and through him out of the locker room. Nothing further was said by anyone. He was truely afraid for his life. Later when he was an inspector I saw him come into 021 and he demanded an officera semi-auto to check the chamber. The officer wanted to see manley's semiauto card, which he did not have. The officer refused tohand over his firearm. manley was a piece of work.

11/29/2010 06:40:00 PM--------Nothing says you can't call a wagon in and load it up and take them to 10 S Kedzie and let them wait there for transport to shelter

The problem is that the uber-liberal bleeding heart desk sgt DK, won't allow these piss bums to be kicked out if they refuse human services. She feeds them her food and gives them chairs to sit in. It's ridiculous and a slap in the face to every officer that works in 011 that values their own safety. A few months ago, one of the "regulars" came in, went into one of the offices and started throwing shit around and fought with an officer. He was arrested. Maybe if they didn't feel like they owned the damn place, those things wouldn't happen. The 011 desk gets pretty busy with all the nonsense that rolls through there, so there are never enough eyes to watch these people. The desk sgt (3rd watch) and sorry excuse for a commander are both jokes. Officer safety means nothing to them.

This is disgusting. There is a shelter down the block on Harrison. These people bring in their smells, their lice and TB and their soiled pants. This is a hazard for those who are working in the station and citizens who come in to make reports. Pretty soon some homeless terrorist will come and the rest will be history. Another smear on this dumb department.
